Olive oil is ideal as a skin softener and is suitable for using on hard, callused feet. This article explains how to use it effectively.

Steps

  1. 1
    Place a towel on the ground beneath your feet. If you prefer sitting with your feet closer, place the towel on a bed or lounge and place your feet. This will protect the carpet/bedspread/sofa, etc. from oil and will also soak up excess oil.
  2. 2
    Massage olive oil into your feet. Pay particular attention to the hardened areas and work the oil in.

Warnings

  • Wear bed socks with grip pads after oiling your feet - it will keep the oil from rubbing off onto the ground, and stop you from slipping.
